James A. Donald (the first guy to reply to Satoshi Nakamoto on the cryptography mailing list)
was also the first small blocker
On November 3rd 2008, he wrote:
“But I think we need to concern ourselves with minimizing the data and bandwidth required by money transmitters […]
The smaller the data storage and bandwidth required for money issuers, the more resistant the system is”
He’s the same guy who told Satoshi Nakamoto that Bitcoin doesn’t scale – to which Satoshi replied that most users will transact using SPV while bandwidth and storage will become cheaper over time.
The F in ETF stands for fool
Don’t be that guy.
If you want to dunk on Roger Ver, don’t get lazy by posting BCH/BTC price charts
Convince Expedia, Steam & Microsoft to accept BTC payments once again
Maybe get Tesla back on board too
Restore the bitcoin adoption momentum from 2014-2015
Then you can finally say that Roger was impatient & wrong
Jeremy Rubin’s redemption arc is pretty cool, good to see it happening.
He was right 3 years ago, but it took the haters a long time to realize.
Average Bitcoin podcast: tries to tell you what Bitcoin is, mostly via metaphors
Bitcoin Takeover podcast: tells you what Bitcoin is not, but can become with some improvements
When I was younger, I used to think religious holidays are stupid.
But tonight I went to the Easter sermon all alone, met half a dozen friends from school (some of whom I haven’t seen in 15+ years) and had a lot of fun talking outside the church like it’s still 2004.
Church is awesome, at least during the major holidays when everyone visits their family. I should go to church more.
Studying Bitcoin history is a lot of fun.
In about 5 hours I will interview J-Dog, the guy who maintained Bitcoin’s Counterparty layer for about 8 years and also builds FreeWallet.
If you have any questions for him, join the livestream chat on YouTube or on Twitter!


James A. Donald told Satoshi that Bitcoin doesn’t scale.
Ray Dillinger told Satoshi that BTC has no network effect and it may never catch up with the US dollar.
Satoshi launched Bitcoin anyway and built a little community around the project too.
We need more of this spirit. There’s too much negativity towards builders and it’s usually the older and more experienced who become cynical to the point that nothing is ever good enough for them.
Thankfully, we have a new generation of Bitcoin developers that will build sovereign tools without anyone’s permission.
The delivery man just dropped this at my door
It’s the new Bitcoin Mini Miner by Braiins Mining!
Which I will now set up to run in the background of my podcasts. It’s that quiet 🤫
Will I earn 3.125 BTC while podcasting? I hope so, but it’s very much a lottery ticket 🫡


It’s really nice to see @laanwj listed as one of the contributors to the Bitcoin Core 29.0 release.
Happy to see his name on the list!
BSV guys claim this is bullish and convincing
Listen to this from 50:40
Thank me later. Maybe send it to @hodlonaut too

My girlfriend is currently painting some Pepe artwork for my podcast background 🐸
If you want a Pepe avatar or some kind of physical painting, she’s available for commissions 👸🏻


In a couple of hours I will interview Daniel Krawisz
He is 2014’s most prolific writer, the man who came up with “hyperbitcoinization” but never gets credit for it, and a co-founder of the @npub1wzc9...spmf
In 2019, he decided to support the BSV fork. Will ask him why


Looking for cool conferences where me + my girlfriend can launch our comic book.
It’s called “Bitcoin: Year One” & aims to teach people about the first year of Bitcoin in a funny & easily digestible way.
Because history is boring and not too many people care about it.
